We see 1000ish years ago?
raidem:
The Fallen really wanted to turn Ivy in Small Favor.
kris.vickers:
We've seen Nic call in his favor from Mab in Skin Game. If I'm Nic I would love to get Ivy just to have leverage over even more people. Also, ever wonder what he did for her, seeing how we've read what Mab's repayment allowed him to achieve? Maybe she's Queen of Winter because of him? Or a severe threat to her throne was thwarted thanks to him? 1000 years ago was a completely different white council. What might they have been like? Possibly writing the last of the laws? maybe there were only a few, and the disasters they saw caused new limitations to be decreed?
raidem:
There is a WOJ that Mab had to be in two places at once and she had to call in Nic to be in one of those places for her. Other WOJ's also say Mab went into much Debt when she took control over the OuterGates. I believe it was ourMab that did that. It is these debts that she is repaying that finally got to her paying off Nic.
I do believe Nic played a part in her becoming Queen. I have my own favored theory, that I constantly mention (TTMurphy goes into past to become Mab.) Full circle: Nic beats Murphy up in Skin Game. Nic helps Murphy become Mab. Murphy/Mab thwarts Nic's plans in Skin Game.

I am still thinking of a situation where Mab had to be at two places, Lea wasn't available, and Nico is your backup option.

Alternatively, Lea hadnt yet developed enough, either on her own or on Mab's coat tails (toot style), to be useful for what mab needed way back then. It was in the very beginning of her Rule, and I doubt Lea started out being stronger than the Court's Lady. The WOJ /sort/ of implies this, that Lea gaining power after this lesson was learned which solved the issue better than handing out favors to big powerful things.

At a Con you attended recently, you mentioned that the reason Mab owes favors to some unsavory characters is due to debts she accrued when the Winter Fey first assumed the duty of manning the Wall.
Regarding that favor, it was a situation where Mab needed to be in two places at once and couldn’t. So Anduriel loaned her Nicodemus to step into one of the places she couldn’t be. Man has since learned better than that and now she has somebody that will step in for her when she needs to be in two places at once. Which is why the Leanansidhe has got so much power and generally shows up whenever Mab isn’t there. If you’ll notice in the books, the Leanansidhe and Mab very rarely show up in the same place at the same time. That’s because Leanansidhe is covering things that Mab should be doing, while Mab is wasting her time on Harry Dresden. And vice versa.
